Charles Pugh was one of the Problem Solvers on TV2 News in Detroit. It was in that role that I met him. A gas station in my neighborhood had a display case full of weapons; small axes and machetes, wands, brass knuckles starred knuckles, martial arts stars. I notified TV2 about this and Mr. Pugh came out to get the story. They had a minor buy some of the weaponry, then they showed their video to the DPD gang squad. The DPD gang squad did their own undercover buy and confiscated over 800 weapons from the gas station. I believe by his reporting on the issues that Detroiters bring to the station, Mr. Pugh has a unique insight into the challenges facing those in the neighborhood and the everyday problems they face. He seems to me to be an intelligent and sincere person who isn't in it for self-aggrandizement. If I lived in Detroit, I wouldn't hesitate casting a vote for him.
